One of the most honest, raw and beautiful pieces I’ve read from an artist in a while! Thank you for sharing and being real in a virtual world filled with inauthenticity. In this second act of life I felt this and know I’m not alone. 🙏🏾💙🙏🏾

Crystal I truly appreciate your authentic honesty and unbelievable generosity in everything you do. I find the community/tribe in your classes and writing that consistently remind me I am not alone in my sensibilities, longings and understanding of the world and the way I choose to live. Early in a 12 step program I learned I am never alone and asking for help holds no shame, I just need to recognize when I’ve wound myself into a knot and remember I’ve learned how to navigate starting with self care and friends. So thanks for who you are, I’m rooting for all of us.

Susan that reminder is so essential for all of us. Never alone can sound like fluff talk to an untrained ear. So glad to know that you've found value in what I share. And in that place of authentically speaking here, I've received such beauty and encouragement in your words. I'm rooting for all of us with you!

You continue to amaze me and so many others with the generosity of your words and talents. You are "The Little Engine That Could" for sure...stumbling, getting up, pushing on. We climb those ladders and take those challenges often in fear and when achieved- celebrate. I celebrate that you have come into my life and help keep my creative fires burning. Giving is receiving. Thanks!

Proof positive that it helps to say the thing out loud, so we know that we are not alone. So sorry you're in the midst of that shit season Lisa. And here's to making our way through. Thanks for taking a minute to read and comment. ❤️
